Pros

Endless opportunities to work in a variety of industries, the company encourages you to change roles every two years, strong focus on career development, excellent work-life balance, and great work culture with a push to talk to upper-level management, and an opportunity to work all over the country and abroad.

Cons

It is a large, global company, so everything moves very slowly and therefore it is hard to see your impact on the company. PDPs are not always taken seriously and the program itself can feel like a glorified internship with no real responsibility. Also, you ultimately need to be mobile in order to move up in the company.
